Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I fly inland and mainly fly in winds from 1-14mph.Low end I fly my babytana and now can increase the top end as I've got a vented Tramontana

In 5mph plus I play with my DS or Sin, but last weekend I took the ds out in winds that were 2-5 mph and although it was harder work to remain airborne I found it was easier to see how the kite was reacting to everything and my axels were lots flatter.

My fade is never staying there without me moving, and even then it likes to go and say hello to the ground. I am working on this though. I'm only really trying to improve my axel, stall, slide and fade before I try to move on.

I would love an UL but I really doubt any new kites will be added to my collection for quite some time as funds are tight.I really like the sin I go off jaydub a fair while ago now and would like the ul version one day...I mainly fly on shorter lines (about 18m) as its no so far to walk when I get things wrong! Thanks for the advice, I'll be out flying at the weekend again.

wind range is also affected by altitude and temperature. Meaning that those that are flying on the ocean beach will have a different "sweet spot" for wind ranges than those flying in Denver (or other high altitude areas). Even the humidity in the air will greatly affect the amount of wind you will need to fly for that "sweet spot". That being said, the design of kite will also change the wind you will want to fly it in.

With that being said, it is nearly impossible to ask what someone else may consider the "best winds to fly in" and then take those winds for yourself.
